Once again, a most wonderful and relaxing 3 weeks with Eleana. She is the most amazing lady.You will never feel more welcome anywhere else. Thank you and your family for everything you do. Cannot wait to see you all next year. xx

We were this year for the first time by Eleana in Ireon. We had a very nice
Appartment and spent there a nice holidays. We were 3 weeks there and we were very satiesfied with all. Eleana was very friendly and helpful and she speaks
very well in English. We are shure to come next year again.

As lovers of all things Greece, we have always pledged that we would never return to anywhere, however nice, as there are always too many other places to experience. This time however we're ashamed to say that we will very probably break our own rule - and soon too!
Everything about the Eleana Apts and Ireon was absolutely perfect. The Greek people are always the most welcoming and accomodating people you could ever wish to meet; Illiana exceeded all expectations. Throughout our stay Iliana saw to our every need, whether it be colecting & returning us to the airport, stocking the fridge with home-made goodies, giving us all local advice etc. etc etc. The list just goes on. She really is the loveliest person you could ever wish to meet.
The apartments are all you could wish for if you're seeking clean, simple well located accomodation - just one minute walk from the town square, beach, tavernas, minimarts, bakeries, car hire etc.
The village stretches around a delightful bay with a series of small pebble/sand beaches overlooking the Agean and across to the Turkish mainland. There are suficient tavernas & bars to keep all occupied for a fortnight but by midnight not a squeak can be heard from the rooms. Transport is easy via local bus for a couple of Euros or so if you wanted to visit other areas of the island or of course there is car/bike hire.
We had an absolutely brilliant time and there were so many good points about the whole holiday which we wish we could list - but it would take forever.
In short - if you love Greece, or if you think you might - go to Ireon & stay with Iliana. Possibly not the best location for families but great for couples - young & old alike!

We stayed at Eleana's apartments earlier this year. Very clean and well furnished. Two balconies and less than two minutes walk to the sea! Bedding and towels were changed very regularly. Eleana herself is a lovely person as you will see for yourself when you stay! I would not hesitate to recommend these apartments to you, and we will be returning too. Ireon itself is a lovely working village, unspoilt and unpretentious with a friendly taxi service and frequent buses so it is an ideal base from which to explore the island! Don't forget to go up to Manolates for spectacular views! Thank you Eleana for a perfect stay.

When we decided that Samos was the only island that we would visit during our time in Greece, we really didn't know anything about it. It was even more strange that we ended up in Ireon. I am so glad we did.
Eleana was great by email, and explained that Ireon was a great place to stay, and after visiting every city in Samos, we were so glad we were staying in Ireon. It was a perfect blend of great beaches, awesome food and extremely friendly people.

We loved our stay at the apartments too. We Canadians were a little unused to the 40+ degree weather, and Eleana lended us a few fans to get used to it (thank you!). The apartments are so charming and beautiful and we ate breakfast each morning on our patio looking at the ocean. We loved the home cooking, and the friendliness.

Thanks again for inviting us to Ireon, and we will never forget our time in Samos!

I just returned from Samos today and want to say thanks again for the wonderful two weeks in one of Elena's studios - which was really lovely and perfect for a relaxing holiday!
But not only relaxing. It was also the warm contact with Eleana and her family, their attentiveness and friendliness. I enjoyed the home-made food, the spontaneous invitations to drink a greek coffee or once to take part in a family party (dancing sirta with Eleana ...). As said below: they made me feel at home.
Eupharisto polu and all best!

Superb accommodation very close to the beach and the tavernas. Short walking distance. Ileana made us so welcome with home made jam, salad vegetables and home made wine. The apartment (Room 4) is very spacious.

This is a very quiet resort and very restful. Tavernas overlooking the waterfront and only 15mins to Airport.

Ileana speaks excellent English and is so helpful. Strongly recommend this accommodation and resort if you are looking for somewhere relaxing

Another fantastic hoiday with Eleana and her family. This year (due to there only being 1 flight from Manchester),we flew to Athens with EasyJet and then toSamos with Aegean. Unfortunately the plane from Manchester went technical meaning we missed our connection and had to stay in Athens overnight., but we will do this again as it still worked out cheaper than 1 flight.
What more can I add to the comments already made Everything that has been said is true. The hospitality shown by Eleana and everyone in the village is exceptional and there does not seem to be much of a price rise regardless of the hype in the papers re Greeces economy. We will return.

Fantastic place ! Extraordinary people ! We stayed there 2 weeks in July 09, and had an extremely nice holiday thanks to Iliana and her wonderful family. They really made us feel at home right away ! Will most certainly come back !!
